The National Strategy for Circular Economy (SEC) was developed as part of Italy's broader reforms and was adopted in September 2022, with the signing of Ministerial Decree No. 342 on 19 September 2022. The primary aim of this strategy is to provide a programmatic framework for actions, objectives, and measures to ensure an effective transition towards a circular economy in Italy. It seeks to define new administrative and fiscal tools to strengthen the market for secondary raw materials, making them competitive with virgin materials in terms of availability, performance, and costs.

The strategy has been announced and is currently in force, with implementation of priority measures scheduled to occur by 2026, in line with the timeframe of Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Key Provisions Relating to Recycling and Critical Minerals:

Digital Waste Traceability: The strategy introduces a new digital waste traceability system (R.E.N.T.R.I. and other digital platforms) to support the development of a secondary market for raw materials and aid control authorities in preventing illegal waste management.

Fiscal Incentives: The plan includes tax incentives and the identification of specific financial instruments to support recycling activities and the use of secondary raw materials.

Environmental Taxation Reform: A revision of the environmental taxation system on waste is proposed to make recycling more economically advantageous than landfilling and incineration across Italy.

Right to Reuse and Repair: The strategy emphasises the development of reuse centres and the identification of regulatory and economic tools to incentivise operators in this sector.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): The reform of the EPR system and consortia aims to support the achievement of EU targets through the creation of a specific supervisory body under the presidency of the Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITE).

End-of-Waste Criteria: The strategy supports existing regulatory tools, including end-of-waste legislation at national and regional levels. It aims to accelerate the adoption of End-of-Waste decrees, particularly for construction, textiles, plastics, and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Green Public Procurement: The plan reinforces the use of Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) in public procurement, aiming to strengthen the technical capacity of contracting authorities for the correct application of CAM.

Secondary Raw Materials Market: The strategy aims to strengthen the market for secondary raw materials through actions on the material purchase chain, end-of-waste criteria, extended producer responsibility, consumer roles, and the promotion of sharing practices and "product as a service" models.

Industrial Symbiosis: The strategy supports industrial symbiosis projects through the identification of specific regulatory and financial instruments.

Circular Economy in Key Sectors: The strategy specifically addresses sectors such as construction, textiles, plastics, and WEEE, which are likely to involve critical minerals.

This comprehensive strategy demonstrates Italy's commitment to transitioning towards a circular economy, with several provisions that could significantly impact the recycling and efficient use of critical minerals across various sectors. The strategy aligns with the requirements of the European Commission as part of the Operational Arrangements of the PNRR, ensuring a coordinated approach to circular economy implementation at both national and European levels.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
